Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we addressed a control method for reliable distributed cooperative control that considers physical and communication constraints of multi-agent systems to avoid deterioration of control performance by an overload of a CPU and a network congestion. We first proposed a cooperative control method with constraints on a wireless communication standard. We also considered event-triggered cooperative control and distributed optimization algorithms and showed the proposed methods can reduce the number of communications without causing performance deterioration. In addition, we considered an application of the proposed cooperative control methods and the distributed optimization algorithms to sensor networks. By this research project, we provided a framework of cooperative control and distributed optimization for reliable autonomous control.
